#if they didn’t grow up together jc wouldn't want to be his “friend” either

[weiwuxianismybae]

Some people don't seem to realise that if not for Jiang Fengmian bringing Wei Wuxian to Lotus Pier, Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng would never have been friends (or friendly). I would even argue that Wei Wuxian would be nicer to Jin Zixuan than Jiang Cheng. Why? Because Jin Zixuan at least has some honour. A scene that illustrates this better than anything is the Xuanwu cave. Who went against the Wen to help Mianmian? Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji and Jin Zixuan! And how did Wei Wuxian react to that unexpected turn of events? He praised him! (Well, kinda)

Jin ZiXuan lifted his brows, “Is that enough? It wasn’t enough for people to be flesh shields for you, and now you want live humans to bleed for you to use as bait?!”

Wei WuXian found this somewhat surprising, So Jin ZiXuan really does have some nerve.

ExR. ch. 52 (original emphasis)

And what was Jiang Cheng doing? Trying to "reign" Wei Wuxian in so that he "doesn't stir up trouble". Why did he not go against the despicable Wens as well? Let me use his own words:

Jiang Cheng warned, “We aren’t even able to care for ourselves; how do we have the time to care about the trivialities of others?”

And Wei Wuxian's response:

Wei WuXian, “First, this isn’t a triviality. Second, things like this, somebody will have to care about them, sooner or later!”

ExR. ch. 52

And Wei Wuxian doesn't say this because they're talking about Lan Wangji and burning of Cloud Recesses. This is the fundamental difference between them. Jiang Cheng is too self-absorbed to care about others (unless they are related to him by blood), while Wei Wuxian wants to help everyone if he is able to, not because he "has a hero complex", but because that's the right thing to do.

People can be friends with others while having different ideas, but when you disagree on the core beliefs, friendship is hard to achieve.

You are funny making posts about Harry when you have no knowledge of him or his fans outside of your larry bubble. Saying ” If your target audience is tired of you, embarrased on your behalf or not really buying what you are selling (stunt or brand deals) at some point you should take a break or change strategy.” is funny because its so not true. Is it true when it comes to you and your larrie friends? Sure! But did it ever hit you that he wants you gone? That he doesnt care If you buy what he is selling? Did it ever hit you that they are not together and you as a larrie fan isnt his target? That the focus for him isnt the group that made his life a hell last year and the group of fans that always end up threathing to stop being a fan as soon as he does something larries have not aoproved? That he may have goals or thing he needs to do without having to think about you? Go to hsd and read the quotes on the latest picture of him and Taylor and not a single harrie being embarrased, tried etc. Do you have any idea about the things people are saying on instagram? All positive comments on harryflorals from harries. You have no pulse on his fandom

Hi, anon!

I do have a pulse on this fandom. I've talked about it many times before. Larries are in the minority in the harry fandom. I'm also well aware that a lot of people fawn over harry and hussell. But you do understand that the fans fawning over it, are also fans who will fawn over everything he does, regardless? They are sheep, often young, who like him for superficial reasons. The minute he dumps her and finds a new stunt, they'll forget about her. The minute he's not in the media, stop making pop songs or loses his looks, they'll run. Harry wouldn't have as many het fans if there was more competition. That competition will come.

If, if being the operative word here, he continues down this road, people are going to grow tired and find new shiny things to be fans of. I've seen the fandom being pretty united in their boredom over the citrus fruit bike promo regardless if you are het or a larrie. I also can't imagine you hets being thrilled about him hanging out with JC? You didn’t exactly love O either? Or Harry being ridiculed across fandoms after Venice?

Hshq and harry don't want us larries gone. Pleasing's larriebaiting begs to differ lol. They want our money and sees us as a significant target group. They cater to us as well as you hets. We larries provide free promo and free engagement. H's biggest twitter update account is a larrie one. Even though you hets outnumber us, when it comes to influence and power, we larries have you beat. Since we also think he's gay and with Louis, we believe he's appreciating having a group out there who sees him for who he is.

And my last point. Your relationship with harry shouldn't be unconditional. He's a celebrity who's going to turn out to be someone different than you thought he was. Celebrities create an image of themselves to make themselves palatable to the gp. If he does something you don’t approve of you should call him out on it. Don't blindly idolize him. You have to set boundaries for yourself. Stick to your own morals and principles, don't ignore them because it's Harry who's breaking them.

–  have you seen jacob christopher bancroft around los angeles? the twenty five year old is usually jamming to star walkin' by lil nas x. word around the city is that they’re compassionate, yet, they can also be restless, but you didn’t hear that from me. they’re currently a/an musician/ songwriter and are typically seen walking the streets of los angeles with his guitar strapped on his back. when i think of them, i think of  broken promises within a broken home, late nights strumming on the guitar and the iron will of never losing hope. let’s hope the city treats them good!

STATS:

full name: jacob christopher bancroft

goes by: jc bancroft ( his artist name )

age:  25

date of birth / zodiac sign: June 14th / gemini

place of birth: cleveland, ohio

gender:  cis male

pronouns: he / him

orientation: homosexual / homoromantic

current residence: los angeles, california

occupation: musician ( guitarist within a band ) / songwriter

BACKGROUND: tw alcohol addiction, domestic violence

As far as JC can remember his parents had always faught with each other. The Bancroft household was a loud, violent and unsafe place growing up. But JC was somewhat safe while his mother was around, aside from the yelling when he did something he shouldn't do. This changed when he was ten years old. He had heard his mother packing her things in the middle of the night and asked where she was going. JC wanted to go with her, but she didn't. The last thing she said to him was: "I can't, I'm sorry. You look too much like him." Words that kept echoing within the boys ears even years later. His father snapped when JC told him about his mom had left, blaming him for her leaving when his father was the only one responsible for it. It was the first time his father beat him and it wouldn't remain the only time.

Since his father was an alcoholic it was easy for JC to get his hands on the alcohol as well, drowning his sorrows and pain with it. When someone got on his bad side he let his fists speak for him as it was the only language he knew.

The only real friend he had, or so he felt at least, was a girl who was living a few houses down the street. Her family was gifted in music and they where the ones who taught JC to play the guitar. It was the one thing that brought him true comfort. That's why he spent a lot of time at their house, avoiding to go home at all costs, despite knowing it would only make his situation with his father worse.

Eventually the girl had formed a band and JC became part of it. When he was eighteen they put their savings together and went to Los Angeles. Travled across the country to chase their dream together. But Los Angeles didn't make it easy on them and they had to work odd jobs to get by, played as many gigs as they could and when most of the band was close to giving up, they finally found someone who took interest in them, saw their potential. Finally they began to walk on the path that led to them making a name for themselves and finally be able to live off the music they were making. Unfortunately, JC's alcohol addiction put a damper on their flourishing career as he kept spiraling downwards. Together they decided it was best for him to go to rehab. Something JC wanted himself as well. He wanted to get better and finally leave all the bad stuff behind him. So the band went on a break.

JC is now a recovered alcoholic. He has been sober for almost two years and he does everything to keep it that way. Music and his band mean everything to him. They give him the strength he needs to remain on the right track.

ADDITIONAL NOTE:

He has trouble to sit still when he’s stressed or nervous, either he starts drumming on any surface close to him, fiddles with his fingers or paces up and down

JC has never been in a relationship and is under the impression he's not made for it either. He has no problem with uncommitted flings, but anything more than that? He isn't sure. ( this might change though, now that his life is back on track )
